This reference card, along with the Canon Cat Reference Guide and the Canon Cat Manual, was supplied with the Canon Cat beginning in 1987. The manuals; by David Alzofon, Dave Caulkins, Jef Raskin, and James Winter; were written on the Canon Cat. We are grateful to Peter Lawrence for putting this card into computer-readable form.
